Hi there! And, BOOGAH-BOOGAH-BOO!!!!! What, all of the Righties are twisting up their tidy-whities by this SHOCKING proposal? They are SHOCKED, just SHOCKED that Wasserman-Schultz and Shuman are proposing more gun control, just as they always do! Oh, and she's the new Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, so therefore all Democrats and fellow-liberals will have to fall into lockstep with her proposal, of course, since all of them believe exactly the same things at the same time. And it will certainly clear Congress. Yah, sure.
Try to grasp this: just because a big-shot Democrat proposes a new law based upon her personal beliefs does NOT mean that it will become official Democratic Party policy or a "plank" of the Party Platform. Each plank of the platform gets VOTED ON by the party national convention. Then, even IF it gets "approved" by the convention..........it means NOTHING except a statement of what the majority of the delegates thought they should vote on to appear in solidarity. NO DEMOCRAT IS OBLIGATED TO FOLLOW IT, and you can be sure that most will completely ignore it, as they always have, just like Republican Party members ignore their own platforms too. She can manage the Party and its fundraising, but she cannot "control" all of the members and every individual elected party member of Congress.
If this proposal ever reaches Congress, it is up to US to influence our own Representatives and Senators to vote OUR will, not Wasserman-Schultz's will............................elsullo
